PRIM GRUNGY ROOSTER DOLL Welcome Prim Friends, and thank you for stopping by to view my new Prim Offerings. Here we have a Primitive Grungy Olde Rooster Doll. He would display nicely as a centerpiece on a table or on your kitchen counter. He measures 9" tall and 6"wide and 18" long. I have created this piece in the primitive fashion to give it that time-worn look. The rooster's body is sewn from muslin and tightly stuffed and weighted with sand. Tiny black beads are used for the eyes. I then stained him with an aging solution of dark coffee and vanilla and baked him in the oven. Several layers of crackle medium were applied before the last coat of antique white paint. The crackled finish reveals the staining underneath and provides a wonderful aged appearance of peeling paint. His separate wattle and comb were sewn from muslin and painted barn red, sanded and hand-stitched to his head, while his beak was painted antique gold. His fluffy tail is pieces of muslin cut into feather shapes and paint-washed barn red, wrinkled, sanded and tucked and stitched into a pocket on his tail. He was then rubbed with cinnamon.He is adhered to a painted cardboard platform where he is resting in a bed of natural spanish moss to resemble hay. I have given this Rooster a primitive tag aged with the coffee-vanilla stain, topped with a nostalgic green print background with an image showing a little vintage boy in his nightgown riding a colorful Rooster that says "Rise-N-Shine". I have inked the edges with brown pigma ink.

Here we have a Primitive Folk Art Shabby Vintage Keepsake Linen Angel that I have fondly named Gabriella. She is completely designed and handmade by me with very special attention to detail and design. She measures 18" long and 10" wide. For that extra special touch, I have used an antique vintage keepsake heirloom tea towel in a dark pink linen with an ornately Hand-embroidered floral design for her gown. The embroidery colors are blue and green. I have carefully pieced the tea towel to form a full length gown with an empire waste, long sleeves and gathered at the neck and cuffs with pink pearl cording. The hem has a frayed fringed decorative edge. Tiny pink lucite buttons adorn the bodice down the center front. Her body is sewn from pale pink cotton. Her cheeks are blushed, her facial features are drawn with pigma pen, her lips painted pink, her primitive eyes are black dip-dot paint, and the sparkle on her cheeks is antique white paint. Her hair features creamy loopy yarn gathered into loops and tied in the center and sewn to her head. Her halo is made of gold ming wire for a dainty look. Gabriella's quilted stiffened wings were cut from an olde antique quilt in pinks, blue and white to match her gown. She hangs on the wall by way of a corded thread loop at the back of her head. I have give her a primitive hang tag that I aged in a coffee-vanilla stain and adhered an image of vintage lady and hot pink flowers matching her gown that I have bordered with clear German Glass Glitter to give it a bit of sparkle. She will be perfect for your display of collectible angels, and year round in your Shabby Chic Cottage, Victorian or Country home.
